Fender sign!

So my local music store is closing I'm a few months and that makes me sad, but they are selling about of stuff cheap and will have a auction in September to sell remaining items.

Now i walked I'm there during lunch today and they had a black unlit box on the ground that said "Fender sign, $20 bulb burnt out". So i bought it. Then I took it home and opened it up and found two brand new extra bulbs in the back. Score! Then I plugged it in and this is the beauty that came alive. Its fiber optic and changes color and fire works go off I'm the back ground.

Sweet score dude! Btw, I have that same amp, but I don't play out much so I haven't had the chance to really try it out much. How do you like yours? Does it sit pretty well?

Maybe you'll get a visit from the American Pickers guys with lots of cash in hand.

Oh I'm not. How rare are dealer signs. The store owner said it took him forever to get fender to give him one.

No no no. that's a Fender Strings sign, not a Fender sign. I'll take it off your hands for $5.
